John Skelton will stand trial for the alleged murder of his three sons, a judge ruled on Thursday.
After nearly two weeks of hearings, a judge determined there was enough evidence to bind Skelton over to circuit court.
Skelton's sons — Tanner, Alexander and Andrew — disappeared on Thanksgiving Day 2010 while visiting their father in Lenawee County. The boys were presumed dead years later and have never been found.
Skelton had been serving a 15-year sentence for wrongful imprisonment of the boys and was set to be released last year. He is now facing murder charges in the case.
